Case Questions
1. How long will it take you to fill a rush order?
Time taken to fill a rush order = MLT = 6 + 2 + 10 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 26 minutes
2. How many orders can you fill in a night, assuming you are open four hours each night?
4 hours per each night = 4 hours * 60 minutes = 240 minutes
Cycle Time = The Duration of the bottleneck = (Setting thermostat and Timer) + (Baking Cookies) = 1 minute + 9 minute = 10 minutes
Maximum no of orders we can fill in a night = (No of minutes per night-Duration of First Setup) / Cycle Time + 1 = ((240 – 26) / 10) + 1 = 22.4 orders ~ 22 orders
Explanation: This is because the first order takes 26

For example, is there a bottleneck operation in your production process that you can expand cheaply? What is the effect of adding another oven? How much would you be willing to pay to rent an additional oven?
Assuming
• 1 order, only 1 dozen cookie
• Second order comes in while person is making first batch
Assuming that we add another oven, the cycle time of the ovens would be 5 minutes. The new bottleneck for the entire process would now be that of mixing the ingredients and dishing the cookies onto the tray, a process which takes 8 minutes for 1 batch of cookies.
New cycle time = 8 minutes
Maximum no of orders we can fill in a night = (No of minutes per night-Duration of First Setup) / Cycle Time + 1 = ((240 – 26) / 8) + 1 = 27.75 orders ~ 27 orders
Therefore, we would only be willing to pay at the most, (27-22) orders worth of rent, which = 5 * (2.00 + 0.70) = $13.50 per day.
Problems for further thought
1. What happens if you are trying to do this by yourself without a roommate?
Looking at the diagram, from time (23 to 25), I will be involved in the packing of cookies for the first batch. However, I will also be involved in the mixing of ingredients for the third batch. It is not possible for me to be able to do two jobs at the same time; therefore either the third batch of cookies will be delayed or the
The need among Americans to be diverted in ever more imaginative ways -- through high-thrill parks, virtual reality arcades, and theme restaurants, plays right into the hands of Dave Corriveau and Buster Corley, co-founders and CEO’s of Dave and Busters. The duo’s 50,000 square foot complexes include pool hall, an eye popping, cutting edge midway arcade, a formal restaurant, a casual diner, a sports bar and a nightclub rolled into one sprawling complex. In business since 1990, this is a high energy, highly efficient operation that’s comparable to a Vegas extravaganza. As a matter of fact there are even “for fun” cashless blackjack tables, with fake $10,000 chips. Pricey, but not outrageous, and you get value

e) Maintenance contracts - Maintenance costs should be included as incremental cash flows because they could change the NPV of the project if the maintenance costs are significantly different for each of the different projects.
Because the cookie-making class occurred unexpectedly on December 28 and is for such a large group of children, Natalie’s assistant helps out. Her assistant worked 7 hours at a rate of $8 per hour.
Despite its location, Dot’s Doughnut shop was about to get famous. The shop was a mini diner near the Interstate 23, a block away from New John City, but the place was well visited though. They recently came out with the new Double Decker doughnut that had two prodigious donuts glued together by vanilla custard creme. It quickly became the #1 best selling snack in the county. The only thing that kept citizens from buying it was the distance from the city, and the shop didn’t have home delivery, so people would call cabs or take the bus. Also, people wouldn't be able to buy their products because people would have spent all of their money on rides to the shop. On the shop’s 25th anniversary, they sold all donuts for 50% off. Peculiarly there
Also, according to break-even analysis operating with the single mold and excluding warehousing costs, a minimum of 12,035 units must be sold to break even. Under a similar situation with the double mold, 15,507 units must be sold to break even, which is about half of the optimistic sales projection. Also under the optimistic sales projection, a positive return on investment is expected. Because the company is turning profit,less additional investment is required. Additionally under the pessimistic and expected situation, the company turns losses, and under the optimistic projections, Chef’s Toolkit only has a net income of 13% of its revenues. Selecting Preferred alternative According to the above information and the projected pro-forma statements, Dale Reid should not invest his money in the company. The company’s lack of current assets, high expenses and low per-unit revenue create an unfortunate and unprofitable investment in pessimistic and expected situations. Only in the optimistic production and sales does the company begin to turn profit, but this profit is low. Chef’s Toolkit needs desperate restructuring and additional revenue sources before Dale Reid should invest. Developing
The procedures for this project is to first, put on the plastic gloves. Second, place the Colored plates on a table with cookies. Third, have the records (pencil and paper) ready. The fourth step is to have people take just one cookie. The fifth and final step is to replace each cookie taken with another one so that the plates have the same amount. Count up the tallies when

How many orders can you fill in a night, assuming that you are open four hours each night?
The proposed sale of Hershey Foods Corporation (HFC) during the summer of 2002 captured headlines and imaginations. After all, Hershey was an American icon, and when the company’s largest shareholder, the Hershey Trust Company (HSY), asked HFC management to explore a sale, the story drew national and international attention. The company’s unusual governance structure put the Hershey Trust’s board in the difficult position of making both an economic and a governance decision. On the one hand, the board faced a challenging economic decision that centered on determining whether the solicited bids provided a fair premium for HFC

Haigh 's Chocolates is an Australian confectionery industry organization offering astounding chocolate and related items to clients in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. The organization is situated in Adelaide, South Australia, where it was established in 1915 by Alfred E. Haigh. Haigh 's behaviors free voyages through its manufacturing plant on Greenhill Road. Alfred E. Haigh was conceived in 1877 in Adelaide, South Australia. His first shop, on the "Bee locale Corner" of Rundle Mall and King William Street, is still in operation. The décor of the shop continues as before as when it initially opened. John Haigh (Alfred 's grandson) needed to extend the chocolate making parts of the business, and went to look into chocolate producing with Lindt & Sprüngli in Switzerland to bring new strategies once more to Australia. In the 1950s and 1960s, Haigh 's chocolates were sold in films by "Tray Girls" and "Tray Boys". At the point when silver screen participation fell, Haigh dared to Melbourne to grow his prevalent business.
Thus we get 6+2*(2+1+2)+1=17 min of valuable time for two orders. For three orders we get 6+3*(2+1+2)+1=22 min of valuable time. A further assumption is that the costs of my and my roommate’s time are L per hour, then the average costs for the first dozen are: (12/60)*L= 0,2L, for the second dozen: ((17/60)*L)/2=0,142L, for the third dozen: ((22/60)*L)/3=0,122. We see that the costs for each the second and the third dozens are less than for the first. Thus, we can give discount on orders for more than one dozen. These can be for the first dozen up to (0,2-0.141)*L=0.058L for the second dozen, and (0,2-0,122)*L=0,078L for the third order.
To start, a marginal analysis* (MA) is beneficial. As noted, the PA facility operates at 40 percent of capacity. Assume that the all costs related to the 40 percent operations are estimated at $2 million per year, and during that time, the 14 SKUs are produced. If production costs were dou-bled, this would mean 28 SKUs at a cost of $4 million. Averaging the results from 2001-04 in Table 2, the middling infant sales total of Heinz’s products was $8.4 million (Heinz, 2014). For the MA, the estimated increase in costs is subtracted from the estimated increase in income, and since the increase in income outweighs the increase in cost, the expansion may be a wise invest-ment (Investopedia, n.d.).
